Baumer IFRM 08N3713/KS35L Proximity Sensor

The Baumer IFRM 08N3713/KS35L is engineered for high-performance proximity sensing in miniature installations. It features a flush mounting type and a precise 2 mm nominal sensing distance, ideal for detecting metallic targets in close-range applications. This sensor uses a reliable NPN break function (NC) output, making it suitable for safety-focused designs or normally closed control logic. Operating within a broad voltage supply range of 6–36 VDC, it offers electrical flexibility across different automation systems, while consuming a minimal 12 mA current under no load conditions. The switching frequency of 5 kHz ensures rapid response times, essential for high-speed processes like sorting, counting, and pick-and-place tasks.

Constructed with an 8 mm cylindrical threaded stainless steel housing and a compact 22 mm housing length, the sensor is optimized for tight spaces without compromising strength or durability. The sensing face is made from PBT, known for its resistance to chemicals and mechanical wear. A robust Flylead M8 connector enables quick and secure electrical connections in dense panel layouts. The integrated red LED indicator provides immediate feedback on sensor output status, aiding in installation and fault diagnostics. With an IP67 protection rating and a wide operating temperature range from -25°C to +75°C, this sensor delivers consistent performance even in dusty, humid, or temperature-variant conditions. Trusted by engineers across industries, the IFRM 08N3713/KS35L is a proven solution for compact proximity sensing applications where precision and resilience are non-negotiable.

Applications of Baumer IFRM 08N3713/KS35L

The IFRM 08N3713/KS35L is widely deployed in electronics assembly machines, precision conveyor systems, and compact tooling fixtures where exact position confirmation of metal components is critical. The normally closed (NC) output makes it ideal for fail-safe designs, such as emergency stop circuits or position lock confirmations in safety interlocks. In robotic grippers, this miniature sensor verifies part presence before actuation or triggers a signal if the object is missing, avoiding errors in downstream processes.

For engineering students and junior maintenance professionals, this model offers a hands-on learning opportunity in sensor integration and logic configuration. For senior maintenance engineers, the sensor's quick-connect feature, rugged build, and high-frequency switching provide long-term reliability and reduced downtime in production environments. With its compact size and smart signal output, the Baumer Connector M8 Miniature Switch IFRM 08N3713/KS35L is an excellent choice for precision automation tasks across industries.
